Overview

A ribbon controller for expressive pitch and modulation sweeps.

The UDO Audio RBN-1 performance ribbon controller gives synthesists a tactile way to shape pitch and modulation in real time. Its long, soft-touch ribbon surface responds to subtle gestures, enabling expressive bends, sweeps and vibrato without menu diving or preset edits. Adaptive pitch behavior tracks only the notes currently being played, leaving sustained chords and reverb tails untouched for clean, musical transitions. Built from milled aluminum with a magnetic, non-slip base, the RBN-1 mounts securely to metal surfaces in live or studio setups. Connection options include 3.5 mm TRS or 1/4" TRS, and a 3.9' cable with adapter is included for flexible integration with synth and keyboard rigs.

Hands-On Pitch and Modulation for Creative Performance

For players who want real-time expression without relying on wheels or aftertouch, the RBN-1 offers an intuitive, performance-driven approach. Smooth glides, light vibrato and dramatic pitch sweeps can be added instantly with finger movement alone. The controller works with any instrument that accepts expression pedal input, while UDO synthesizers provide enhanced integration that preserves existing notes and ambience for natural, musical phrasing. Durable construction and fast magnetic placement make the RBN-1 a reliable tool for studio sessions, electronic performance or hybrid live rigs. Touch-based modulation adds nuance, immediacy and personality—bringing gestures into the center of your sound.

  • High-sensitivity ribbon enables precise vibrato and nuanced pitch modulation
